SOUNDSCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE!

Luwig's Nephew by (((controller-band

http://soundlab.newmediafest.org/index22.html

Initial real time thoughts-

Starts off as an orchestra, but things are quickly distorted and warped. Feels like the track is skipping at first, but you realize it's on purpose. Getting a little irritated by it. Eventually a hip hop track is blended into the mix. The mix of symphony and rap is interesting. Eventually the symphony part is completely overtaken by the hip hop. The hip hop part is even being warped and distorted now. The beat was pretty nice and smooth until they started fucking it up. Eventually the symphonic part comes back and it is a mix of the two again. Almost like they are fighting for which genre is prevalent. The end of the song is a mish mash of both tacks and ends with a mixture of both. Nevermind I thought the song was over. It is now sounding like a video game that is glitching out severely. Wow this is very annoying. I want to throw the computer. OK now it's fixed. The hip hop part is playing almost without any distortion. Looks like it "won". The song fades out with hip hop.

Analysis

It was pretty neat at first. I rather like the hip-hop and orchestra mix. It is a clash of two completely different styles of music, yet like all music, they both can follow a rhythm mesh pretty well together. Eventually the song started to suck though. I hate the forced distortion, it's way too pretentious for me. I feel like it's not adding anything to the song and that the mix up between classical and hip hop was enough to get me to enjoy the song. Why fuck it up?

  1. HA! Just listened and I agree...
    "Ludwig's Nephew" is kind of an annoyingly obvious name too.
